the weekend report

Awesome efforts today by all! It's great to see everyone working hard and making improvements. Now you have to recover. I was reading last night about how important sleep is to recovery. And I know that is a challenge for many of you day-in and day-out because of your academic efforts. The only thing I can tell you is that if you make the extra effort of getting as much sleep as possible, even taking daytime naps when you can, you will be rewarded with fantastic performances. I believe that recovery, sleep and nutrition, is the only roadblock for some in taking their athletic performance to new levels. And in that light, tomorrows assignment:
